The footage continued.
It was still the same Quinjet, but this time the camera focused on the Hulk.
He was piloting the aircraft away from the scene.
Only then did the viewers suddenly understand.
The hidden video was going to reveal how the Hulk had transformed back into Banner.
“This creator is really good at keeping us hanging.
He deliberately left this part out of the main video and made us unlock it through the reward system!”
“I actually think this makes it more interesting.
After all, we all want to know exactly what made the Hulk finally let go of his emotional baggage.”
Banner also held his breath as he stared intently at the screen.
Every time he transformed into the Hulk, that violent power eroded his will, and regaining control of his body was always incredibly difficult.
Not to mention the countless fearful and rejecting looks the Hulk had endured.
At this moment, Banner wanted the answer more than anyone else.
Perhaps it would help him coexist more peacefully with the Hulk.
Suddenly, a mature woman’s voice came through the communicator.
“Hey, big guy.
The mission is complete.
“Now we need you to fly the aircraft back.
Can you do that?”
The Hulk slowly walked from the rear of the cabin toward the controls, and the camera moved closer with him.
A graceful woman appeared on the screen.
Her charm made it difficult to look away.
She continued, “The aircraft is in stealth mode, so we can’t track you.
“Please be careful when operating it…”
Just when the viewers thought the Hulk might hesitate, he silently tightened his grip on the controls.
Before the woman on the screen could finish speaking, the Hulk cut off the communication.
The background music gradually became low and sorrowful.
The scene once again showed him curled up in the corner of the cabin as the aircraft carried him toward an unknown destination.
“Did the Hulk fall in love?”
“Look at that woman’s expression.
She looks so hurt and helpless…
Maybe she’s the reason the Hulk was able to turn back into Banner?”
The viewers immediately became excited.
They had originally thought this giant only knew how to fight, but they had never expected the story to contain such a tender side.
The following footage flashed back to moments between Natasha and the Hulk.
She invited Banner to take a bath with her.
When he lost control, she gently stroked the back of his hand and whispered, “Calm down.”
These memories made the viewers even more certain that there was a special relationship between them.
But precisely because of this, the Hulk’s departure became even more heartbreaking.
“Maybe he left because he didn’t want to hurt the person he loved.”
The scene returned to the interior of the Quinjet.
A long time had passed.
The Hulk angrily smashed the equipment inside the cabin.
The control panel suddenly lit up again, and Natasha’s voice echoed through the cabin.
“Good job, big guy.
We don’t know where Ultron has gone, but you’re flying high and fast, so we need you to pilot the aircraft back.
“We can’t track you while you’re in stealth mode, so please cooperate, okay?”
The moment Natasha finished speaking, the viewers were left completely stunned.
The Hulk suddenly went berserk.
He repeatedly pounded his own head as though two souls were violently fighting for control of his body.
The Quinjet’s interior was completely destroyed in the process.
“No!
Banner, stop!”
The Hulk let out a furious roar.
But in the end, he collapsed to the ground and transformed back into Banner.
The background music softened.
The camera slowly pulled away from Banner until it reached the sky.
Then the Hulk’s figure appeared in the footage once more, accompanied by Leon Vance’s narration.
“The Hulk Arc officially comes to an end!”
With Leon Vance’s announcement, the viewers finally understood why the Hulk had transformed back into Banner.
It turned out that Natasha had played a crucial role.
Everyone remained immersed in the shocking scene, unable to calm down.
Only now did they realize that whenever the Hulk lost control emotionally, it was always her reassurance that helped him calm down.
Even during the final struggle between the consciousnesses of the Hulk and Banner, she had played an important role.
“Perhaps Banner loved her deeply.
If the world hadn’t treated him like a monster, he might never have chosen to leave.”
“Exactly.
Thankfully, Banner eventually returned!
Otherwise, the Hulk might have remained on that alien planet forever!”
“I’m curious about what happens next too.
Will Banner and that woman eventually get together and even have children?
Just thinking about it is exciting!”
“Whatever happens, we have to give them our most sincere blessings!
I’m shipping these two forever!”
Viewers throughout the Marvel Universe were deeply moved, and many were even brought to tears.
They had personally witnessed the hardships and struggles the Hulk had endured along the way.
Now they were relieved to see that even an irritable giant like him had finally found love and understanding.
Although the video had ended, the anticipation in everyone’s hearts only grew stronger.
They desperately wanted to know what kind of touching hero story this creator would bring them next.
“This creator is incredible.
Every time I watch his videos, my emotions can’t help but rise and fall with the characters.
Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry.
“Sometimes I even think that if we could lock him in a little room and refuse to feed him unless he updated, that would be perfect!”
“Exactly!
Who on earth is this creator?
If you can hear me, please update faster!”
“Don’t get your hopes up.
It’ll probably be the usual time.
See you tomorrow.”
“As long as he keeps updating consistently, that’s already good enough.
Right now, I’m just curious who the eighth hero will be.”
Just when everyone assumed the update time would remain unchanged the next day, a conspicuous line of text suddenly appeared at the end of the video.
“Tomorrow’s review of the eighth superhero will be delayed by two hours~!”
The entire audience immediately erupted.
“This is absolutely unacceptable!
Fine, the updates are slow, but now you’re delaying them by another two hours?”
“Damn creator!
If I ever run into you, I, Star-Lord, will steal everything you own!”
“Star-Lord, well done!”
Although everyone was furious, there was nothing they could do.
They could only patiently wait for the next day’s video.
Meanwhile, Director Fury and the others had returned to New York.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Dr.
Banner, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
No one had expected that Natasha, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s top agents, would develop romantic feelings for this seemingly gentle and introverted scientist.
Tony was equally silent, sitting nearby with his brows tightly furrowed.
Facing everyone’s gazes, Banner hurriedly waved his hands and explained, “Don’t stare at me like that.
I don’t know anything about this either.”
He pretended to remain calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.
The scene of him kissing Natasha in the video kept flashing through his mind.
His heartbeat quickened, and for a moment, he even felt as though the warmth of her lips still lingered against his own.
At that moment, Spider-Man Peter Parker’s voice broke the silence.
“Hey, don’t forget to tip the video creator according to the rules!
It can be an item you already have, or a resource from the future.”
Banner suddenly snapped back to reality and hurriedly opened the Dimensional Platform interface.
As he browsed through the available items he could offer as a tip, he discovered that there were very few options from the future.
After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, “What if I tip my serum?”
At this moment, his most valuable asset was undoubtedly the serum containing the power of the Hulk.
After all, even a monster like the Abomination had been created because of it.
Perhaps it would attract the creator’s attention.
The platform immediately responded mechanically.
“Operation permitted.”
The moment the words fell, a silver needle quickly pierced Banner’s arm and extracted the serum.
At the same time, the system issued a warning.
“Please note: Donating part of your serum will reduce your lifespan by five years.”
Banner nodded without hesitation.
